How Do Boilers Work?
Boilers use hot water to heat your home. They use a heat exchanger and a fuel, such as gas or oil, to create and circulate either hot water or steam through pipes in your home.
These pipes lead to radiators or baseboard heaters, which provide warmth to your space before sending the cooled water back to the system to repeat the process.
Advantages of Installing a Boiler
Many homeowners in Virginia are choosing boilers thanks to the wide range of benefits they provide, including:
- Energy efficiency: Since water and steam retain heat very well, a boiler is more energy-efficient than a furnace and can provide more consistent heat.
- Excellent air quality: Unlike a ducted system that circulates dust, allergens, and contaminants throughout your home, a boiler doesn’t, keeping you healthier and more comfortable.
- Zoned heating: Boilers allow homeowners to send heat to specific zones in their homes, reducing wasted energy and providing customizable comfort.
- Longevity: A boiler can last 15 to 30 years, longer than many other heating systems.
If you have an outdated boiler, consider a replacement from RBP. When you install a new boiler, you can get more reliable heat, a new warranty, and improved energy efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a boiler and water heater?
While a boiler does heat water, it’s not connected to your plumbing system like a water heater. However, combi boilers can do both to streamline your home comfort systems.
Are boilers efficient?
Boilers are very efficient because water and steam retain heat very well. Both natural gas and propane boilers have an AFUE of 80% to 98%, with propane being the more expensive option.
Is it possible to integrate a new high-efficiency boiler with my home’s existing older radiators?
Yes, modern boilers can be paired with older cast-iron radiators, but careful system balancing is required. Because high-efficiency units operate most effectively at lower return water temperatures, our technicians may adjust your system’s flow rates or install outdoor reset controls to ensure your vintage radiators provide consistent heat without sacrificing the efficiency of your new boiler.
What is the benefit of a “primary/secondary” piping configuration during a boiler installation?
A primary/secondary piping setup decouples the water flow through the boiler from the water flow through your home’s heating zones. This ensures that the boiler always receives the correct flow rate to prevent overheating the heat exchanger, while allowing your thermostats to call for heat in specific rooms without affecting the boiler’s internal hydraulic balance.
